New Video Recaps First Three 'Star Wars Rebels' Seasons Ahead of Season 4

by Patrick Cavanaugh | October 12, 2017

Many fans might turn to films to see some of the most compelling stories that Star Wars has to offer, all while Star Wars Rebels has been telling compelling stories set in the galaxy far, far away for years. With three years worth of episodes to catch up on, the idea of getting up to speed ahead of Monday's premiere of the final season might feel daunting, but you can also catch up on what you've missed in the video above.

The animated series first debuted in 2014 on Disney XD, marking the first animated series after Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Sadly, this purchase resulted in the beloved Star Wars: The Clone Warsanimted series ending abruptly, but the biggest creative force behind that series, Dave Filoni, served as the creative mind behind the new series.

While Disney's purchase resulted in the erasure of many Expanded Universe elements from official canon, Filoni has incorporated many of those elements in Rebels, allowing these characters to live again.

The fourth and final season aims to be the biggest yet for the members of the Ghost crew, potentially resulting in some devastating events for the fan-favorite characters.

Check out the descriptions of the first six episodes of the final season below.

Sabine leads Ezra, Kanan and an army of her fellow Mandalorians back to her home world to rescue her father from the clutches of the Empire.

When Sabine discovers the Empire has resurrected a devastating weapon she created and plans to use it against her people, she must decide whether to destroy it or use it herself.
